To what point the conspiracy tended, she neither knew, nor ventured to enquire. The terrible aspect of Lord Ruthven filled her with sinister forebodings ; nor could she banish the impression, that he sought even her life. But terror did not deprive her of self- possession ; and though debarred from all but ...one or two female servants, she con- trived to transmit a message to Bothwell and Huntly, who promised to effect her de- liverance ; and having accidentally caught a glimpse of Melvil from her window, she took the opportunity by him to communi- 247 cate to Murray an assurance of unlimited pardon, on condition that he should pre- serve her life and liberty.
